Instead of walking you through a calmly paced, occasionally tense New York from the film, you'll have all sorts of ways to smash and crash your way through this game.

The detail on the buildings, armor and other characters is just mind blowing. Again, if there was every any question about the $60 price tag, it will be gone within the first 5 minutes of playing.

Probably the most notable issue however is driving the various vehicles which can be extremely cumbersome.

At times challenging, and at others simply frustrating, you’ll need keen wits and grace under fire to deal with the obstacles presented in this title.

It’s just really flat out good looking.

By stepping from an action packed exploration and puzzle game into a full blown action title, Dawn of Dreams has managed to breathe new life into this series. I heartily recommend it.

An unqualified success, and in my opinion, should be a must have for any Xbox 360 owner.

It helps all the more if you can recognize the subtle genius in zerging an enemy base with a battalion of Lothlórien elves, but even if you can’t, it’s still worth a long look.

The camera is a constant pain, general movement can be challenging at times, and even aiming can be extremely cumbersome.

The visual effects are okay and the different environments are diverse but not outstanding (almost exactly the same quality as the PS2 release).

What promises to be a “race through Tokyo’s traffic-filled streets” is actually a race down a featureless gray highway that can barely manage to put two cars on your screen at once, one of them being your opponent.

Black can be summed up in one phrase. One dimensional. It plays like a great action movie, with a few problems, and literally doesn't give you anything but that.

The bottom line is if you’re a turn based gamer (it’s 3:00 AM and you’re telling yourself again, "Just one more turn..."), Galactic Civilizations II: Dread Lords is not something you are going to pass up easily.

The graphics and audio do give a respectable performance that most will be satisfied with and RF Online does a great job setting up a game that has potential. The tedious nature of the gameplay however may leave the more casual fans of this genre out in the cold.

It is fun to blow stuff up for a while, but with a bit longer, this game could’ve been much much better.

Simply put, there just isn't enough here.

It has all the right ingredients to make for an enjoyable 30+ hour adventure, and if you’re willing to overlook a few of its flaws, it’s one of the better RPG experiences you can have on your PS2.

It’s too short, too frustrating, and too unpolished to warrant a look over, awesome monkeys or not.

While Ape Escape 3 provides for an entertaining time, its age is showing through, even with the charming sheen a large army of monkeys helps create.

If you enjoy a good bit of puzzling, you’ll likely be able to play this game without much frustration.

Intensely frustrating, rewarding, and challenging, Dead or Alive 4 is not a game for those of us with short attention spans, anger management issues, or serious over competitiveness.

In everything but gameplay, this game is basically standard fare.

The most appealing aspect of this game is also its most hindering. Unlike previous AC titles, this time you can leave your hands in your pocket, and let an AI control your mech for the duration of all of your battles.

For the love of all that is holy, stay away from this game, it’s one of the worst examples of use of license out there.

The fact that I can’t give you a numerical value for 'annoying game design', I’ll have to settle with saying this game is Not Recommended.

Featuring the same combat system from Warrior Within, and best of all, a completely new and inventive narrative, Prince Of Persia: The Two Thrones is a sequel worth playing.

I certainly would be extremely unimpressed if it was on a console.

Just about every gamer I know could benefit from a bit more physical activity and this is a fun way to do it.
